Chapter 1777: Only if he can save her would it be ghostly

Steward Li only asked that out of deference to the Guo family's face.

Actually, even if Ye Zhangqing needed some immortal beast ingredients, as long as they weren't those overly precious non‑sale items, Steward Li could decide to sell them to him.

But Ye Zhangqing didn't do that; he simply picked the most ordinary monster beast ingredients.

Even the Guo family's Fifth Elder nearby kindly said.

"Little Friend Ye, just tell me if you see something you like; don't worry about the rest."

The Fifth Elder was also showing goodwill to Ye Zhangqing, but Ye Zhangqing shook his head at their words.

"These are already enough."

Ye Zhangqing naturally also selected immortal beast ingredients, but they weren't for treating Luo Jiuyou.

He was still confident in his cooking skills; ordinary monster beast ingredients were enough, no need to waste these immortal beast ingredients.

Ye Zhangqing also wanted to taste what these immortal beast ingredients were like and how they differed from the ingredients of the myriad worlds.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing insist on this, Steward Li and the Fifth Elder said no more.

But Steward Li inwardly thought less of Ye Zhangqing, considering it unbecoming for one so young to be so arrogant.

Even the Immortal Chef of the Hall of Longevity needs immortal beast ingredients to be sure of curing Luo Jiuyou, yet this brat actually imagines he can save someone with ordinary monster beast ingredients—utterly absurd.

If he could actually save her, that would be truly ghostly.

But since Ye Zhangqing himself is like that, and he has no relation to Luo Jiuyou, naturally they won't say more.

Anyway, what's Luo Jiuyou's life or death to him?

Picking the ingredients and paying for them naturally didn't require Ye Zhangqing's worry; the Guo family's Fifth Elder would naturally handle it.

Moreover, the Guo family and the Hall of Longevity have plenty of cooperation; these are trivial matters.

After putting away the space ring filled with ingredients and leaving the Hall of Longevity's warehouse, Ye Zhangqing and the two others directly returned to Luo Jiuyou's room for recuperation.

Steward Li didn't leave, perhaps wanting to watch the excitement.

At this moment, Steward Li had already concluded that Ye Zhangqing could absolutely not save Luo Jiuyou.

By then, it will most likely still require the Hall of Longevity's Immortal Chef to take action.

Out of respect for the Guo family's face, it's not impossible.

Steward Li secretly thought as much, but Ye Zhangqing was completely unaware; after borrowing a kitchen from Steward Li, Ye Zhangqing began to prepare to cook.

"Little Friend Ye, I am also a spirit chef; although I haven't reached the level of immortal chef, I should be able to help you as an assistant."

After bringing Ye Zhangqing to the kitchen, Steward Li didn't leave; instead, he volunteered to assist Ye Zhangqing.

Of course, the main reason Steward Li stayed was to see just how capable this clueless brat really was.

He may blow his own horn loudly, but he wants to see just how much substance this brat actually has.

Hearing Steward Li's words, Ye Zhangqing shook his head and politely refused.

Just cooking for Luo Jiuyou alone is more than enough for me.

Moreover, since this is for healing, Ye Zhangqing dared not be careless; he intended to be more serious, so he planned to make everything himself from start to finish for better results.

Seeing this, Steward Li frowned slightly but said nothing more, merely telling Ye Zhangqing that he was outside and could be called if needed.

Ye Zhangqing nodded in response.

Leaving the kitchen together with Steward Li, but as they were about to go, the Guo family's Fifth Elder suddenly came up to Ye Zhangqing and said with a smile.

"Little Friend Ye, could you make a bit more when you're doing this? I would also…"

"No problem, I'll leave some for the Fifth Elder then."

Without the Fifth Elder finishing his sentence, Ye Zhangqing understood his meaning and readily nodded his agreement.

Hearing that, the Fifth Elder grinned and then left, satisfied.

After being busy for most of the day, getting to eat even a bite of Ye Zhangqing's food would be pretty nice.

The Fifth Elder and Steward Li didn't leave; instead, they waited outside the kitchen in the courtyard.

This kitchen is in the small courtyard where Luo Jiuyou lives; Steward Li had already thought of this when arranging the rooms earlier.

In the courtyard, the Fifth Elder, thinking he'd soon be able to eat Ye Zhangqing's cooking, was restless, his mind wandering off somewhere unknown.

Seeing him like that, Steward Li, who had known him for a while, asked suspiciously.

"I say, Brother Guo, what's wrong with you? Why are you so restless?"

Watching the Fifth Elder unable to stay seated, one might think there were nails on the stone bench or something.

At their cultivation level, their minds should be as still as water, with no problems—so why are they so fidgety?

Steward Li asked curiously; hearing this, the Fifth Elder replied somewhat impatiently.

"Nothing much; if you have other things to do, you don't need to keep me company—just go attend to them."

Huh???

Seeing the Fifth Elder absent‑minded, his eyes constantly drifting toward the kitchen, Steward Li couldn't help but furrow his brows tightly.

Something's off with this old geezer—what is he looking at?

Steward Li followed the Fifth Elder's gaze to the kitchen, but saw nothing special there—why does this old geezer keep looking that way?

It's just a kitchen, and there's nothing strange inside—isn't that brat just tinkering with food in there?

A brat who hasn't even grown a full coat of hair—really?

Steward Li didn't quite understand what was up with the Fifth Elder, but while the two waited, a faint aroma of food slowly drifted out from the kitchen.

This time the aroma was slightly different from before—more delicate, and it also carried a hint of medicinal herb.

Inside the kitchen, Ye Zhangqing looked at the stove before him, where a pot of medicinal stew was simmering.

This was made by Ye Zhangqing using monster beast ingredients together with some spiritual medicines.

While balancing flavor, the effect also needed to be stronger.

Under the simmer of spiritual fire, the medicinal stew was almost ready, and its aroma slowly drifted through the kitchen doors and windows into the courtyard.

Huh???

In the courtyard, the Fifth Elder, who had been staring with longing, was the first to smell this scent; he suddenly inhaled deeply, and an unconscious look of intoxication appeared on his face.

Good, good............

What's good about it? Old geezer, have you lost your mind? Or what?

Seeing the Fifth Elder like that, Steward Li opposite was completely dumbfounded—damn, this old coot has been acting extremely off from the start.

Now it's gotten even stranger—taking a sudden deep breath leaves people baffled, and he keeps muttering 'What's good about it? Good, good.'

Damn, what's so good about it?

But facing Steward Li's doubts, the Fifth Elder spoke with an expression of enjoyment.

You don't understand, you don't understand—this can only be grasped intuitively, not expressed in words.

Huh???
